The 32-year-old is a free agent since leaving Old Trafford at the end of last season after three injury-ravaged seasons, with speculation that the forward could be set to join the Toffees.

"Just rumours," Owen stated on Twitter when asked about reports linking him with the Merseyside club.

The veteran striker, who has also had a spell in England's top flight with Newcastle, has also been linked with a move to Stoke over the summer, although there is yet to be any agreement between the two parties.

Potters boss Tony Pulis has recently spoken of his admiration for the former Real Madrid player, and has not ruled out a move for the striker who has scored over 150 goals in the Premier League.
